Betting on Atletico Nacional
Atletico Nacional is coming off a 2-1 victory against Patronato in its Copa Libertadores debut, thanks to a double by Dorlan Pabón. Even though Paulo Autuori’s team didn’t perform at its best, it relied on the experience and individual skills of several players to overcome this tough match.
Now, the paisa team focuses on the challenge ahead against Junior, which is struggling in the tournament, but it’s still a team that always shows up in important games. Playing at home, Atletico Nacional is unbeaten with two wins and four draws, scoring six goals and conceding only three.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Kevin Mier; Andrés Román, Cristian Castro, Cristián Zapata, Danovis Banguero; Sebastián Gómez, Nelson Deossa, Dorlan Pabón, Jader, Jhon Solis; Jéfferson Duque.
Betting on Junior
The Barranquilla team took a breather by defeating Alianza Petrolera 1-0 in tmatchday 11. This win helped ease the pressure on the team. Juan Fernando Quintero is recovering well from his injury, but it is unlikely that he will be available for the Monday night game in Antioquia.
So far, Junior has not won any games while playing on enemy grounds. The team has accumulated two draws and three losses, with only three goals scored and seven conceded. Will they break this streak in one of the most crucial games of the season?
Possible lineup (4-5-1): Sebastian Viera; Walmer Pacheco, Federico Andueza, Ivan Scarpeta, Edwin Herrera; Homer Martinez, Carlos Sierra, Freddy Hinestroza, Vladimir Hernandez, Luis Gonzalez; Brayan Leon.
JefeBet Prediction
The last time these teams faced off was on July 13, 2022, and Junior emerged victorious with a 3-1 scoreline thanks to goals from Luis Gonzalez, Carlos Esparragoza, and Edwin Cetre. On the other side, Jefferson Duque scored for Atletico Nacional.
This Monday’s Atletico Nacional vs Junior match at Atanasio Girardot is expected to be a tight one, but at JefeBet, we believe that Atletico Nacional will use its home advantage to come out on top against Junior, which will likely be missing the talented Juan Fernando Quintero.
Prediction: Atletico Nacional Moneyline (NAC 1-0 JUN).
